What's Japan doing to lessen its dependence on oil and gas? Japan's a country whose aging leaders have done almost nothing to lessen its complete reliance on oil and gas, a country that can be easily held hostage by nations selling it oil and gas.

PTownsend, re "What's Japan doing to lessen its dependence on oil and gas?"...

You could argue that Japan was the first to develop and mass-produce hybrid cars successfully, (Toyota Prius and Honda Insight for example) and that Nissan's mass-production electric cars (Leaf, etc.) have been the most successful around the world so far. Naturally Tesla and China are catching up fast.

You could also argue that Toyota is pushing ahead with hydrogen fuel cell infrastructure despite the huge costs and the negative reaction around the world to this technology. So although what you say is largely true, there are bright spots in Japan.

Iran is a good friend of Japan, and a great nation. Japan has no issue with Iran, no war or terrorist acts. Iran people love Japan and Japanese, very similar thinking, so relationship will continue unchanged. USA has separate issues.
